being a mom often comes down to love and connection. It’s that deep, unconditional bond with your child—watching them grow, learn, and become their own person, knowing you helped shape that. For many moms, it’s the little moments: a spontaneous hug, hearing “I love you,” or seeing your child overcome something hard. That sense of purpose, pride, and joy can be incredibly fulfilling.

I don’t know how you pick just one. Because there are so many that I will forever treasure. The years that both my boys were racing is something that is so special. I will never forget. We traveled all over the state and other states every weekend in an RV, I would do anything for them to be little again and us together every weekend, traveling like that. Even when they started to become teenagers and we were traveling, it was always us together. I would go back in a heartbeat 💗

Now that they are grown, and everybody kinda does their own things. I would use that money to take us on family vacation and get to experience that feeling of us all for being back together and traveling and enjoying that quality family time again, they are 26 and 22 and I know the time is coming when they will be doing their own family vacations and making memories. Would mean everything to me to get all four of us on another family trip.💗 Some of the money I would used to help local rescues
